S. Korea: North Did Not Order Leaving Industrial Park

The South Korean government expressed doubts over the report that North Korea instructed South Korean companies to leave the industrial area shared by both countries by April 10th.

North Korea did request several companies to provide a timetable for the return to the south of workers who intend to do so by April 10th, South Korea explained, and this was misinterpreted as a general demand to abandon the area.
